Coventry City are interested in signing Yeovil Town defender Alex Lacey, according to reports.

The Sky Blues have been monitoring the 23-year-old and are looking for centre-backs as they look to win promotion from Sky Bet League Two at the first attempt next season.

Lacey has been one of Yeovil’s standout players this season, making 47 appearances and establishing himself at the heart of the Glovers’ defence.

And it is those performances that have caught the eye of Coventry boss Mark Robins, the Coventry Telegraph are reporting.

The former Luton Town youngster is out of contract this summer and is one of the players that manager Darren Way will most want to keep at Huish Park.

But the prospect of regular first team football for a Coventry side that will be seen as one of the favourites to challenge for promotion from the fourth tier could prove too much for Lacey to turn down.

The centre-back position is an area that needs strengthening for the Sky Blues this summer.

The futures of Jordan Turnbull, who has a ‘get-out’ clause in his three year deal, and Jordan Willis, who has already been linked with renewed interest from Rotherham United, are uncertain, while Nathan Clarke has been released.
